On Wednesday, President Barack Obama had a difficult task: publicly accepting unprecedented defeat of Hillary Clinton at the hands of his nemesis, Donald Trump. Speaking on the rose garden Wednesday the 9th of November, the president did say he was heartened by Trump's pledge of unity. The President said "we are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country." President Obama also expressed he would work as hard as he could for a smooth transition of power. The president and the newly elected President will meet on Thursday to discuss the transition.

On Wednesday, President Barack Obama promised a "smooth transition" of power to President-elect Donald Trump when he leaves office in January 2017. In a statement from the White House Rose Garden with Vice President Joe Biden, Obama said, "I had a chance to talk to President-elect Trump last night at 3:30 in the morning to congratulate him on winning the election and invited him to the White House tomorrow to talk about making sure there is a successful transition between our two presidencies." Obama then explained that it is no secret that the president-elect and himself have some pretty significant differences, but added "we all want what's best for this country."

ISIS could regain much of its former strength in Syria in just six months, a new Pentagon report says.

In December President Donald Trump ordered the 2,200 troops stationed in the country withdraw. As recently as Sunday, Trump said that ISIS had lost "99% of its territory, and "we will be announcing in the not-too-distant future 100%."
